Grits support CETA. Also, Harper is challenging Quebec's final act in the Clarity War. Took them long enough. This should be very interesting, methinks.

More on CETA, extract from Wells' latest book,

In non-political news, a great Maclean's interview w/Bobby Orr.

Something I found interesting: Halifax has a higher median household income than Toronto and Vancouver. That's ridiculous, especially when you consider how much it costs to buy a house in TO or Vancouver compared to Halifax.

Halifax probably has a pretty low gini coefficient.

I agree, but I think it' more due to our lack of high earning corporate types than our thriving middle class Tongue

Yeah, Moore will probably never be leader.

I just don't see a niche for him. He's too western for the eastern Red Tories, and he's too left wing for the former Reformers.

He's still, I think, the Red faction leader and their only candidate for next round. Not like there's a whole lot of Red choice. Tongue

I still think MacKay will have the audacity to run.

Personally my preferences are:
1) Some super socon candidate
2) Kenney
3) Other Blue Tories
4) Moore/Prentice










MacKay or Bernier if they run.

Can't think of an uber-socon, but Kenney's socon credentials are rock-solid. Kenney would also be my first choice, as I've often said.

Today's QP was all Calandra, Harper, Leslie. The former being the liveliest, with Leslie a close second. Harper got some good shots in too.

Acting on this will depend on what's in the Elections Act amendments, which I assume is a project for next year.

Federal CROP: Grits and Dippers tied at 31, BQ at 18, Tories 14. No real change since last month.

Whoa: deficit 7 billion less than expected, 18 instead of 25 billion. On track for 2015 balance.

McNeil named his cabinet today

Some of the more prominent picks
  • Diana Whalen (Clayton Park West) - Finance
  • Leo Glavine (Kings West) - Health
  • Karen Casey (Colchester North) - Education (her PC cabinet slot)
  • Geoff MacLellan (Glace Bay) - Transportation
  • Lena Diab (Halifax Armdale) - Justice/Attorney General

Charlie Angus channels his inner Vic Toews.

Posted here because it'd be a beautiful attack ad clip, at about 3:05-16.

Trudeau will be a CAP panelist alongside Albright and Gillard. Something of a mismatch, methinks.

Is there any chance that Nenshi could be a Liberal candidate someday?

ClusterDuff is blowing up in the Senate right now. Says that Novak and LeBreton threatened to throw him out of caucus if he didn't resign, he personally met with Harper and Wright. Harper personally ordered him to repay.

Posted here for its hilarity: Trudeau gets inadvertently skewered by his own star candidate. Whose ads will it appear in first?
